It may come as a surprise to many, but a lot of celebrities did not just join acting schools and started acting once they graduated. Many went through years of medical school and then changed their career, some went through years of corporate life before they decided they wanted to get into acting.
Similarly, there are celebrities who had started out as male strippers to make a living! Here are some popular celebrities who were strippers before they joined the film industry.
1. Mark Conseulous
The actor famous for his role as Hiram Lodge, father of Veronica Lodge in a popular series known as Riverdale was a stripper while he was in college. He made his career in this profession to make money to pay for college tuition, but he continued with it for a long time after that, but finally becoming an actor and leaving the stripper industry behind!
2. Channing Tatum
There was no way Channing Tatum performed the role of Magic Mike with so much ease. The acting was so natural, and as good of an actor he is, one of the reasons he did it so well was because he was a stripper. He went by the name “Chan Crawford.” The movie turned out to be a masterpiece due to his prior experience in the stripping field.
3. Javier Bardem
Bardem states that he initially started it as a joke with no plans to pursue it. However, he was soon hired for another show. His family showed him support by showing up for his performance including his very own mother and sister. However, his career as a stripper was a short one!
4. Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt was part of a group called “Dancing Bears” at the University of Missouri for a short while. Looking at his body, it is no surprise that would have worked as a stripper because he clearly checks the physical appearance box when it comes to qualities a stripper is expected to have!
5. Chris Pratt
The famous actors that were celebrities include Chris Pratt. He worked several jobs to make ends meet including working as a stripper. He has stated that it was something that he decided to do because he did not mind being naked. It occurred to him that he could get paid for being naked so he decided to give it a try.
